Events

Duke Frontiers is an annual event designed to emphasize the
collaboration between industry and university research efforts and
to foster mutually beneficial relationships between Duke's science
faculty and industry. Attendees include corporate and university
researchers and associated staff, students interested in research
careers in a corporate environment, corporate university relations
staff, and others interested in cutting-edge research collaboration.

TechConnect, hosted by the Duke University
Department of Computer Science,
Pratt School of Engineering, and
Career Center
brings students and employers together. Each year, a panel of employers
is selected to provide advice to students seeking internships and
full-time jobs. Through this panel presentation, students get a good
understanding of characteristics employers seek as well as a realistic
view of the job market for students interested in engineering and
technical careers.

The panel discussion is followed by a vibrant networking
event. Students from all classes are welcome to visit with employer
representatives, many of whom are Duke alumni. This venue provides a
less formal environment than the traditional Career Fair which takes
place the following day.
